tho Southern p'reiich Provinces and the
garrisoning of a chain of frontier posts for
many hundred miles, which would mitcr
ially weaken her power of resistance to
Germany. As a nav.il power, Spain is
something more than re.-pectable, a few of
her ships, such as the Almanza

The Germais navy is as yet not sufficiently
developed to cope with the French marine,
but if it were allied to that of Spain arid
still further, it Italy were to take a part,
the French coasts could be harried as thor

at war with France. It requires but an
undemanding of such points for so change
able a people as the French to iesort to
some new form of government.

A new brick walk was laid around the
Bross property, corner Commercial avenue

laid on the north side of Tenth street, be

of the city, by tho end of 1883, will be in
better condition built in a more substan
tial manner than has generally yet been
done. The majority of new walks are
of brick or stone and all laid tho full width
between curbstone and lino of lot. Tho
worst and roughest of the new walks is that
from tho Catholic church on Washington
around to and on the south side of Touth
street. This is a villanous j b. The mater

of value received and their reputation as

An elaborate and logical article recent
ly appeared in the New Orleans Times
Democrat in favor of the cremation of dead
bodies. It is true that tho popular leeliug
is against tho practice. The populace,
however, are all more or less superstitious.
Under tho inspiration of their religious
teachings they acquire uotions which are at
variance with common sense aud ordinary
intelligence. And the popular feeling
against cremation is akin to tho nonsensical
prejudice against vaccination that if tho
Lord had not designed people to havo
mall-pox He would never have sent tho
scourgo among us. Tho recent experi
ment of a Brazilian physician prove con
clusively that tho germs of yellow fever im
pregnate tho earth in which tho bodies of
tho victims of that disease are buried. It
is fair to presume that other contagious
diaeasos may bo communicated in tho same
way. Hence tho urgumeut in favor of
cromation. By tho burning of tho bodies
of our dead wo certainly destroy tho ability
of the inanimate corpse to do any lurther
mischief in the world. Tho only agont
that is yet known tochomistry which will
destroy thegorms of curtain diseases is

know that there can bo any reasonable ob
jection to cremation. Clergymen can per
form their rites over the ashes of mortality
as well as over the body and they have
done it. The Romans when Rome became
the seat of an Imperial government, found
it necessary to adopt the cremation eystem,
aud despite of popular prejudice, it will yet
be adopted in all densely populated coun
tries. It is in the logical sequence ot events
that i should bo so. Palucah News.

OPERA HOUSE.
Next Mouday evening our people aro to
have a treat in a shape of a musical enter
tainment of a character never before pre
sented here.
The world-renowned Hungarian violinist
Virtuose Remenyi will appear in grand con
cert, supported by a splendid company of
solo artists, whose names have graced t' 0
boards of somo of tho most artistic musical
soires, ever given in the large cities of tho
a.ist. The eastern press is enthusiastic in
its praise of tho entire troupe, and compares
Remenyi with tho celebrated Olo Bull,
whose performances here on two occasions
several years ago will bo recalled by many
of our theatre-goers with pleasure.
Samuel Steel, the musical critic of tho
Chicago Times, speaks of him as "A moot
extraordinary genius, his playing is sim
ply wonderful." While Hazard, of the
New York Tribune, says: "Wo do not be
lieve ho has a rival." George P. Upton, ot
tho Chicago Tribune, speaks of him: "He
is the peer of any living player wo ever
heard; aud sweeps criticism and every sort
of objection away."
Among tho many violins possessed by
Remenyi, thirty-ono in number, may bo
mentioned the "Princess Violin" made in
1818 by Stradivarius, and is without doubt
tho finest instrument known to tho profes
sional to-day.
